No I had not heard that Scott but, there is/will always be a spot for you...

BTW...whats your thoughts on this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-461284345.htm
I fucken love it!!! but wouldn't even consider paying near the asking price.

Pack rack bag + backpack = enough room for everything I'd need, surely?

Let me know when its a YES and I will add you the list.

Cheers! Hopefully starting a new job as a bike messenger next week up in the big 'A', thanks to Mr Birds! I'll have to figure out logistics of my shifts once I get underway with them. So don't write me in as a definite just yet, but will keep you posted on how things go...

As for my next bike, I've got something along the lines of this in mind, but as you say, not for that price!

Check out my blog (link below in my sig) for all the latest on what's been happening in my world...

Oh yeah, if anyone has a good quality mountain bike that I could use for my first couple of weeks as a bike messenger, that'd be a huge help to me! I've been hunting online, but the state of my finances is a bit low at the moment, don't want to buy something cheap and nasty and have it fail on me during a shift... PM me if you can help!

(Sorry Maha, this is a bit off topic, but I've been trying to capture as many people's attention for this as possible...!)

We have an 18 speed Blazer bike here..dont know who's it is, its been here for years..
It needs new tyres (the current ones are perished) but if it will get you going...come take a look.
The chain is on it but....off it , if you know what I mean?
Needs a side stand also.

Hmmm that could be a goer, new tyres and some basic maintenance can't be that expensive, can it?
